This blog is hosted on GitHub Pages using Jekyll. If you want to fork this blog and make your own, here is how you get started.
First, you need to fork this repository to your own account. Github looks for a branch called gh-pages, so create your blog content there.
# fork the repository using the github UI
git clone git@github.com:username/blog.git ~/projects/blog
cd ~/projects/blog
git checkout gh-pages
You probably also want to remove my posts, and my git history.
rm -f _posts/*
rm -rf .git
git init
git checkout gh-pages
git add .
git commit -m "Initial commit"
git remote add origin git@github.com:username/blog.git
git push -u --force origin master
sudo apt-get install ruby1.9.1-dev python-pygments
sudo gem update --system
sudo gem install jekyll
brew update
brew install ruby rbenv ruby-build
eval "$(rbenv init -)" # update PATH
echo 'eval "$(rbenv init -)"' >> ~/.bash_profile # and update PATH in future shells
rbenv install
gem install bundler
bundle install # may need to re-open shell to get updated PATH
bundle exec jekyll serve
bundle exec jekyll serve --watchYou should now be able to open http://localhost:4000/blog/index.html
